Precious as the love between a manand either Betty or Veronica,sweet as spending the night in a vanwith a bottle of no-name Goldshläger.Into the thicket the gnatcatchers go,grey winged with high-pitched mating calls;I take you to my parents' bungalowafter three Big Macs at the East Side Mall.Sweet as toffee muffin without the muffin,gentle as a less-howly howler monkey,soft as soft-serve, cute as a postcard puffinriding the back of a ceramic donkey.Mom's on meth and Dad's left for Vancouver,so let's skip school and love one another.
